cargo-packager's dmg format (it makes the .app first) from
deploy/packaging/packager-macos.toml, an Info.plist merged into the
generated one, build-macos.sh in portable shell (BSD sed) and a
package-macos recipe; the release workflow gets a macos job on
macos-latest that uploads the .dmg as a run artifact and attaches it on a
tag. Unsigned and not notarized: that is step 5 (the owner's Developer ID,
Q-4). The config was parsed under cargo-packager 0.11.8's strict schema on
Linux; the build itself needs the CI run. No new dependency.
docs/packaging.md (macOS rows, finding 7 resolved, the staged update),
architecture.md and testing.md describe steps 3 and 4.

The Linux half of the packaging trial, run on this machine and in Debian,
Fedora and Arch containers, and the recipes it produced (docs/packaging.md
holds the table and what it found):
- mise.toml pins cargo-packager 0.11.8 and cargo-generate-rpm 0.21.1, now
that `just package-linux` calls them. cargo-packager-updater is a
library, not a tool, so it is not pinned (update.rs does the checking
with minisign-verify, which is what the updater uses).
- deploy/packaging/: packager.toml (.deb, AppImage, the pacman tarball and
its PKGBUILD), the rpm table in crates/ledger-cli/Cargo.toml, the AUR's
own PKGBUILD (repacks the release tarball), build-linux.sh,
repo-indexes.sh (the apt and dnf indexes, unsigned until the signing
step), local-release.sh (a throwaway-keyed feed to try `update`),
test-linux-packages.sh (linux_packages_install_and_upgrade: install
0.1.0, open books as an ordinary user, upgrade to 0.1.1, check the host
restarted onto the new file, the books' last journal line unchanged and
`update` refuses; passes on Debian trixie, Fedora and Arch). A package
marks itself package-managed with share/wanderbooks/install-method.
- The icon is a placeholder square (the AppImage cannot be built without
one).
- .github/workflows/release.yml: on a version tag, build on ubuntu-24.04
(the oldest glibc the packages claim: a program linked on this machine
needs GLIBC_2.43 and does not start on Debian 13), attach the packages to
the release, and add them to the apt and dnf repositories on gh-pages.
No signing and no macOS or Windows job yet.
- The release profile strips symbols.
